Haandbryggeriet Dark Force

I have to Trump this one. Batch 74. Dark as the void of space yet yielding an abundant frothy expansion of chocolate color cream akin to the big bang suggestion. This analogy could actually shed light on the BB theory because after the expansion comes the recession and a final resting point of a full, thick bronze colored downy blanket of lace that just sits there. Could the universe recede after a certain point in time ? Anyone ? I know this is beer but many a great idea were spawned from here. I can smell Belgium. Mild aromas of dark fruits and cocoa w/ a twist of Belgian granite. Full nectar w/ perfect carbonation for a memorable creamy texture right off the lips. Nice! I wonder if anyone has gotten drunk in the void of space ? This brew has an extreme roast component that is not soon forgotten. Only mildly sweet w/ flavors of charred coffee bean, bitter dark cocoa, leather, minerals, and no fruit at all. The finish is long like a trip to planet x at light speed and leaves a trail of charred malts to linger forever. Overall: Ok, just as it claims, it’s extreme. This has to be one of the most highly roasted brews out there. Refreshingly unsweetened and the alcohol is well hidden. Drinks superb from the fridge to the last drop. I wonder if they used a Champagne yeast strain here. Dark Force totally reminds me of Black Flag. If you like one then you must try the other.

This stout is one of the best I’ve had. I expected less body from a wheat Stout but was pleasently surprised. Pours a black as night brew with a nice tan head that remains throughout the whole beer ( this one was one to savor, not gulp!). The mouthfeel was very nice and filling. Nice dark malty overtones with a slight bittering on the back end. It may have been too cold when I started, but got better as the afternoon passed. Definately one to keep on hand in the beer fridge for a special occasion!

50cl bottle from Bar&Cigar. Batch 137. 9% abv. It poured a black colour with a small light-brown head that settles down fast in the glass. The aroma smells of malts, wheats, alcohol and coffee. The flavour is bitter and tastes of malts, wheats, alcohol and dark chocolate. It has a lingering aftertaste.

may 08 (Bottle) tasted at the brewery. What a kick! Pitch black with creamy head, Tastes like it looks. Thick and creamy. perfect balance

Pitch black with a huge airy head which settled to a dense flim. A well roasted aroma, with loads of dark chocolate and espresso, and also a noticable wheat-precense. The taste is concentrated, and aggressive up-front; roasted malt, wheat, ash, tartness from the yeast, and bitter chocolate all come bursting in like a cavalcade of stoutness. Gradually, it mellows out with slight sweetness and finishes thick, woody, roasty and dry. This had quite a lot of CO2 for the style and I think that worked really well. Lush.
